Green & Co.'S report on cotton futures says:
Cotton options have shown less activity and
finally an easier market. Some 365 points
were bid up early in the day, with a firm tone
for awhile but found no responsive demand and
holders weakened after the noon call, with free
unloading, under which the cost settled off rap
idly, the decline being hasteued by considerable
new selling on the part of recently covered
shorts. Europe improved, but hardly up to eX
pectation. At the close rates were gas points
below last evening and the tone only about
steady

CHICAGO Oct. 1.-THE market, with the
slightest possible fluctuations and without news
or happening sufficient to influence either
Judgment or prices, was what grain traders had
a struggle with during the greater part of the
morning The opening in wheat was Irac-
spot grain and futures steady, with unchanged
prices Receipts here exactly fulfilled estimates
of 1876 cars, of which 40 cars were spring and 10
graded No. 2 but of these II cars were old
wheat, leaving but cars of contract grade
Late foreign markets frmed the market, and
sent some local shorts to cover during the last
half hour of the morning session, resulting in a
gain of ISc in November and Csc IN December
and May from opening figures. The case was
strong at the highest point of the day, which
was touched just as the bell tapped The corn
market was generally dull. There was not
large business in speculation, and of the news
the good about offset the bad In such manner
as to cause but little change in prices, the en-
tire of the day being about sc. The speculative
market for oats shared in the general dizziness
and trading. all through tne regular session,
was OF light scalping order and almost en-
treiy local In provisions there were no de
veopmentS TO relieve the monotony of the dull
day Trading in both cash and future property
was restricted Fluctuations were confined to-
limits too narrow to awaken any interest, and
the market failed TO receive ordinary attention.
Dizziness was most prominent ii not the only
feature apparent, yet the feeling was strong,
and excepting lard and sh )rt ribs for cash and
near delivery yesterdays prices were well sup
ported.
Cash quotations were as follows Flour steady
and unchanged Wheat, No. 2 spring $500
$3.50 No spring 160b6619c; No. red &c.
